CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
Human being cannot life without communicating with others. In communication, people usually greet someone else before starting conversation.
There is a social relation between them. This relationship makes language has important function in society, such as to create and keep the relationship among
the others.
Every language also reflects the social characters of the speaker, of the addresse or the relation between them
. The study of language in relation to society is sociolinguistic. One of the
studies is address system. Address system is one of the important tools of communication used in society. Address forms are
the speaker’s words used to appoint the person they are talking when the conversation is going on. Names and
second-person pronouns are the kinds of address form Fasold, 1990:1. While Chaika 1982:46 states that addressing differs from greeting in two ways. First,
addressing is used almost solely for power and solidarity. Greeting may be different between two people depending on their mood. Two people who address
each other the same way each time they meet may be different their greeting. Second, addressing can be repeatedly constantly throughout a conversation, to
strengthen the relation intimacy and solidarity between people. Address system in greeting of conversation show the interest between the participants.
The statement above means that address system is word used to appoint person in a conversation. The words used are depending on the relationship and

the closeness between them. It may to respect someone, for example by title, Mr., Mrs., Professor, Doctor etc. or non-formal, for example by nickname, Thom,
John, Tim, etc. Some factors influence the close relationship between the people in
particular situation and how the speaker feels about the people being addressed. Wardhaugh 2000:262 states that someone can address other by title T, by first
name FN, by last name LN, by nickname, by some combination of these, or by nothing at all. The choice of name which someone uses to address other depends
both on knowledge of the person as addresser and on the situation. It can be concluded that someone address other by title or full name can be indicated
inequality and unfamiliarity. While if someone address other by first name moreover nickname it can be indicated equality and familiarity. So, it can be
known the relationship and the closely between people and other from how they address each other is.
In the thriller movie, there are many address term used. For example “honey”, “sweety”, “baby” to show love in the close relation, “Mr. Coleman”,
“Sir” to respecting, “daddy”, “mommy”, “sister”, “grandma” to show kinship, “guys” and “dude” to friendly relation, “detective”, “doctor”, “maestro” to
mention the occupation, “fucking mommy” and “fucking sister” to show anger. However, not all the address term used in the thriller movie are translated
in the subtitle, because several of them containing dirty word and even there are address terms are not translated at all. So it makes some nonequivalence between
the source language SL and target language TL.

According to Dirks in his article http:www.filmsite.orgsubgenres.html thriller films are virtually synonymous and interchangeable categorizations. They
are types of films known to promote intense excitement, suspense, a high level of anticipation, ultra-heightened expectation, uncertainty, anxiety, and nerve-
wracking tension. In this study the writer deals with analyzing the address systems used in
thriller movie and it’s subtitle. The movies are
Black Swan
,
Orphan
, and
Drive Angry
. Example in
Orphan
movie:
0009SLTLOP
INT.EXT. TREEHOUSE - DAY Daniel and his friends AUSTIN and TREVOR run down a short path
through the woods behind.the Colemans house to a tall tree. -This is no Little Rascals job -- this thing was professionally built. They
climb up to it. Inside, Daniel throws back a rug and pries up a loose plank. Under it is a small STASH OF WEED.
SL
Daniel : Dude, its all in here. Oh, God. My
hands are freezing. TL
Daniel : Semua ada di sini. Astaga. Tanganku
kedinginan. On the conversation above, in the source language SL the speaker
address by Dude.
Dude
belongs to address term used to show closeness. Usually, it is used to address close friends such like
guys
. The purpose is to show closeness, because in the situation, Daniel is talking to his close friends. The
relation between them is close relation that they have known each other. Then, in target language TL the address term is not translated. There is deletion here that
in target language
Dude
isn’t translated. So, it is not equivalence because in
target language the speaker doesn’t show the closeness.

By the background above, the writer is interested in analysis the address systems used in thriller movie. So, the writer decides to conduct a research paper
entitled A Study on the Address System Used in Thriller Movie and It’s Subtitle.
